In this episode of iDeep Dive, we analyze Noam Chomsky and Edward S. Herman's Manufacturing Consent, which introduces the "propaganda model" of media. The authors reveal how U.S. media systematically favors powerful interests, shaping public opinion by amplifying "worthy" victims while ignoring "unworthy" ones. Through case studies like Vietnam and Third World elections, we uncover the mechanisms of media bias and its role in supporting U.S. foreign policy. Join us as we explore the intersection of media, power, and propaganda in this seminal critique of mass communication.
